*Official* Fourth Test at Chester-le-Street

[Uppercut]

Day 2 pitches often do quicken up a touch, though.

Hmm but it doesn't seem to happen as clearly when it's the same team bowling on it both days.

Would put that down to the poor ****s with the ball in hand bowling two days in a row.

Best decision I've ever made is following Jesinta Campbell on Twitter. Wish she batted at number three for Australia, she looks in outstanding nick.

Wondering if Koumas has been named in the starting lineup for the Whites today.

Still picking up splinters in his bum.

i guess the main thing to take out of this is that michael klinger is a regular brett lee - a freak with no middle name

Nice graphic. Twatto ****e since 2010.

Watson's career progression so far has been like:

-consistent high 50+ scores, trouble getting out of the 90's
-consistent low 50+ scores, trouble getting out of the 50's
-consistent 30-40's scores, trouble getting out of 30's-40's

Bird will be frothing for this.

Does he have an expresso machine too?

Cheers for the update. I can concentrate on the cricket now.

I think someone said earlier that Bird moved it around more in the first over today than he did all day yesterday.

Yeah moved it appreciably in the air and off the seam both ways. TBF it might be the Broad being "on" effect, he does have the ability to extract stupid amounts of seam movement when he's on. Doesn't look quite so challenging with Bresnan and Anderson bowling.

From here England's middle order gave it away to straight balls from Lyon, think the fact the Aussies won't will be why they have a 50+ first innings lead.
